Cisco DNA Center as Transport Gateway for smart licensing

[ziqex]

Hi,

I wanted to ask if there is an option to use Cisco DNAC Center license manager as Cisco Transport Gateway for voice servers CUCM, Unity as well as ISE. Scenario: voice server contacts Cisco DNA Center and DNA center contacts cisco smart licensing to get the authorization. Looking for solution to replace cisco transport gateway as it become very unreliable and TAC support is minimal. 

Thank you.

Hi

do u mean replacement of on-prem CSSM?

I mean replacement of the Cisco Transport Gateway 3_2 Linux Build.

Instead of using Cisco Transport Gateway for ISE and voice servers smart licensing proxy using DNAC Center.

Devices (switches.routers)that were previously using cisco transport gateway were already moved to smart proxy of the DNAC center and wonder if we can do the same for ise and voice systems (unity, cucm).

Thanks

I've just received confirmation from TAC that DNAC license manager acts as a proxy only for devices in the inventory therefore voice servers and ISE servers cannot use it as the smart proxy.

Cisco Transport Gateway is the system that can be used for voice servers and ISE for license authorization if internet access is blocked for those servers.
